Vanmoof S3 E-bike Review

I have the VanMoof X2 ebike, which has the same non-removable battery. Yes, taking your bike up in the lift is what VanMoof expects you to do.

I live on the top floor of an apartment building, and it is annoying to bring the bike up every time it needs to charge, so I bought this large power bank: https://www.amazon.com/SUAOKI-Generators-Portable-Generator-...

I just bring that thing down to the bike parking area when I take out the trash, and charge the bike from that. It holds enough power to fill the bike.

It does add a few hundred to the cost, making it even more expensive. OTOH though I live in the city and use the ebike instead of a car, so I could probably buy a new ebike every year and still save money.

I like the battery pack more than the bike... I'd get a bigger one if I could, since running my laptop doing CUDA stuff sucks 240W.
